2. When you get stuck with the "fun boss"

3. When your computer can't even be bothered to help

4. Or, conversely, when your computer gets a little too up-in-your-business

5. Or when technology in general just decides to phone it in.

6. When the office kitchen is a little out of control

7. When the work starts piling up

8. When your new office-mate is a little much

9. When this happens

10. When your stressed-out coworker couldn't find a sitter

11. When the new intern brewed the coffee
